Extreme punctuation pedantry
“Punctuation marks originated from notations used to mark pauses for breath in oral recitations, but 17-to-19th-century grammarians tied it ever more tightly to grammar. There remains a minority position that language pedants call ‘elocutionary’ - that punctuation is properly viewed as markers of speech cadence and intonation.”

Rule-Based Programming in Interactive Fiction
“As I write this, Inform 7 is approaching its third birthday. I7 is a tool for creating interactive fiction (text adventure games). Like all the most powerful IF development tools, I7 is a programming language — a powerful and peculiar one.
Inform 7 gets a lot of attention for its English-like syntax. I’m not going to talk about the natural-language aspects of I7. I’m going to talk about the underlying programming model, the system of rules and rulebooks. That’s less attention-grabbing than the flashy syntax; but, in my opinion, it’s equally radical. And perhaps a more important development, in the long run.”
